Who I am as a Therapist
Whether you are seeking greater steadiness, meaningful transformation, or simply a place to just be, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you. You may be coming to therapy as an individual, with a partner, or as a family—whatever brings you here, I look forward to holding space with you.
I believe healing happens in community, and I understand the therapeutic space to be a community of its own—one where we imagine and develop new ways of moving through the world with greater authenticity, embodiment, and self-compassion. You are the expert on your experience. Together, I hope we can create a space for you to explore life’s challenges and cultivate tools to help you live more fully—whatever that looks like for you. My role is to remind you of your innate capacity for living a life that aligns with your hope and joy and to help you navigate life’s complexities with curiosity and care. My commitment is my authenticity, accountability, and embodied presence—meeting you where you are and walking with you toward where you want to be.
My practice is affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities, non-monogamy, and kink, and I strive to guide you through whatever other circumstances that have you currently seeking therapy. I approach my work from an intersectional, culturally attuned, and nurturing perspective, drawing from modalities like experiential family therapy, narrative therapy, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and systems theory. While these approaches ground me so that I may offer support for a wide range of experiences, I am especially passionate about working with blended families, families impacted by separation, partners navigating abortion experiences, and those living with complex PTSD.

Who I am when I’m not a Therapist
When not in therapy, I’m most likely painting something in my home—walls, furniture, or really anything—nothing is off-limits! I also love exploring the lush greenery and healing water of the Pacific Northwest (as a Midwest transplant) and beginning new hobbies. (Right now, it’s film photography, but on deck is learning how to make my own clothes!) More specifically, I love laughing with friends while swimming in rivers, playing games with my nieces and nephews over FaceTime, and reading fantasy novels on a sunny picnic blanket.
